To Copy or Move Users from One Datasource to Another

  1. Log in to both datasources.
  2. In the source datasource, select one or more users under the Users node and select Copy or Cut (move), depending on which operation you want to perform.
  3. In the target datasource, right-click the Users node and select Paste.

    You can also copy users just by dragging them from one datasource to another. To move users, you also have to press the <Shift> key (and keep it pressed) as you drop the users into the Users node. The <Shift> key changes the copy into a move.

    The Copy User(s) or Move User(s) dialog opens.



  4. Select which items associated with the original user that you would like to copy over to the new user:
    • If you want the new user to have the same user settings as the original user, keep User settings turned on.
    • (For moves only) If you want the new user to have the same working directory definitions as the original user, turn on Directories.
    • If you want the new user to have the same membership settings as the original account, keep User membership turned on.
  5. Click OK.

    The selected user accounts are copied or moved to the target datasource.

Note: If you are copying or moving logical accounts, the password of the new logical account will be the same as the user name, which you or the user can change later if necessary.
